A book store sells novels, magazines and skill books. Survivors visit for skill books that speed up learning a trade.
The store shelves hold the early volumes of many skill books. Mechanics, Carving, Knapping, Glassmaking, Butchering, Cooking and Tailoring all appear. The counter gives bags, game consoles and RPG manuals. Some towns have a comic store instead. That shop fills its cases with Comic Book and dice. Reading a skill book before practice makes each skill grow faster. A book store is one of the best early stops for a new character.
